<Firefox> New API coming. You'll have to rewrite your add-ons for sandboxing, etc.
<Add-on Dev> Oh, okay. -_-
<Firefox> By the way, the APIs aren't all there yet, so what do you need?
<Add-on Dev> Yeah, forget it. I've other things to do.
Both sides are reasonable. Firefox needs this to move forward, but there's only so much effort that people are willing to put into it.
I do hope that Web Extensions will become powerful enough to make the great add-ons we have now, but I'm afraid it's not going to be a nice ride.

Mozilla already know (for a large part) what APIs they need; they keep stats on the extensions: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/extensions/?sort=users https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/extensions/?sort=us... So at least enough to implement the top 50 ? Preferably the top 500 :)
